just checked mate and no issue. went into my sms started replying to sms using hardware keyboard and no issues at all. caps work, fn works and fing key still dispalyed on screen(sip)

edit: using rhodium touchflo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] CowMix:
I didn't mean it doesn't work I meant that usually there is a small icon that pops up next to the sip icon that tells you if you are currently in cap mode or function mode when typing on the hardware keyboard. If it works for you maybe I should try hard resetting again?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
ya i get what ya mean!

no need as ya should be able to enable using advance config tool. WC will tell you how as i really dont use hardware keyboard much

edit: due to this rom being completely 6.5 based with manila certain things are not there any longer!(concurred wid WC on this and he checked)

So I am about to Flash my first ROM and this is the one I chose but there are four choices from how it appears. What are the differences between them all? I would go through the thread and figure it out but there is 36 pages worth of stuff and plus I am sure a lot of the stuff posted in the thread is obsolete due to updates and things like that. So what are the difference between the 4? I am excited to test it out :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Depends on what you want...21275 roms are windows 6.5 manila and regular version(stock) 21051(updated os) and R3 Tweaked(right from sony with added goodies)are 6.1.

Enjoy,

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Passion!:
Great Rom, WC!

i've been flashing many diff ones

recently got stuck on GTrab's wc4, and it was really good and stable

then i played with a friend's topaz and found the new manila to be really good

went on to ITJE's 9.0 - it was very good too, except that i had been spoilt with some of the improvements through WM6.5...

and then i tried this and i must say i am very satisfied. i could live without the indication whether shift or function has been pressed. the symbol pad issue is easily solved with a cab.

i have noticed though with a soft reset that it boots straight into messages first. i've tried removing poutlook from startup but it is still the same? any ideas?

also - while i understand that panels and panel manager is not included in this ROM, i still see panel manager in startup?

thanks WC - keep cooking!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Thank you for the feedback.....

Sometimes this happens,sometimes it doesnt@messaging starting this again is related to manila...not sure why...still researching...as was stated above...somethings have been removed to make manila work with 6.5....there is supposedly a new manila being worked on that is fully compatable with 6.5...so there is bound to be unexplainable little glitches here and there with this version .The panel manager being there is for the xbutton...nothing to worry about....

Notification sounds

Hi,

First of all, many thanks for this superb rom, it is fast and smooth - probably the best I have used.

I have one issue though, the notification sounds for email, sms and reminders etc. The list of different sounds under settings - sounds and notifications is very limited and most of them do not even work. Is there a way to add more sound files to the drop down list manually or via a cab and if manually - what dir and format should they be?

This is not a big thing usually, but I receive a lot of messages daily and would like to separate the different ones (email/mms/sms) with different noticeable sounds.

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Most of the sony original stuff was taken out of the manila rom, you can create your own and save it to your my document folder on your memory card and it should be fine. As I dont use any of the standard ringtones etc...and most dont i chose to remove these.

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adeg1974:
Thanks for the quick reply. I played around a bit and the issue was not actually with the ringtones, but the small notification sounds for alerts. They need to be directly in the \windows dir. All good now, thanks a lot again.

Thanks, after the above process i installed panel manager but when i press the x panel button i get the message "PanelManager.exe not found!! Please install panel manager or check the registry setting" since i don't want to mess up the registry settings, i installed once again R2 panel manager and soft reset but i get the same message.

Sorry to bother, i will appreciate any help. thx

panels on manila

i added panels and there they are working! don't really see the need for panels in manila as in 'effect' manila is a replacement for that!

i added cabs - active x dev cab, sony x1 panel cab and a few panels just to test! works so mine must be a one off :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
cabs i used to add panels

cabs i used to add panels below. only issue i find is that i have to press x1 panel button sometimes twice to bring up panel view but it does work as screenshots show above. i haven't added cabs for the actual panels as they can be found all over xda by searching.............. enjoy :D

BTW - i installed the active x cab first then the panel cab!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Trimegisto:
I have been using the latest Manila ROM and I am very pleased. But there is always room for improvement and I would like to leave some tips:

- The already mentioned glitch with the missing icon in the SMS writing with the real keyboard. I find it useful to have it as I never use the virtual keyboard. Can it be fixed?

- Altough it is very easy to install a small app to do the job I wonder why none of these ROMs include a self lock mechanism? It is an absolutely essential tool, right?

- Very small choice of ringtones. Easily solved by copying the favorite ones (from other WC roms) always available on the SD card to the \windows\rings folder. But maybe they could be included?

Anyway, you are doing a fantastic work WC. Thank you very much, you really make it worth to be the owner of a SEX1.

Keep it up.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sika68:
Perfect!, SE panels are now working. Thank you very much for your kind consideration and help.

How did you get the panel-files...i can´t get access to the files, the download links is not working? in the panel thread?

//Spets
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] eddybrown:
I've gotta say this is a great rom! I was using one of Jacks old roms but I was waiting until someone did a nice Win 6.5 with Manilla rom and this one certainly fits the bill.

The only thing I've noticed is that the games don't seem to have shortcuts in the start menu, though they're in the Windows folder... Not a problem since I can make the shortcuts :)

I thought I'd miss the panels as well but it's made me realise how little I used to use them!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Now either people arent having many issues, or no one's using this rom....sadly it is probably the most complete and stable of the joint effort bewteen gtrab and others from the forum....oh well...

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JohnDevol:
I'm sure your ROM is being used by lots of people. Most of the posts in these forums relate to bug issues and this ROM is fairly bug free, therefore not many posts.

But if it makes you happy I have a couple of issues.

When using the Fish and Slideshow Panels, both softkeys link to Contacts. There may be more panels with this issue?

No quickmenu on any panel other than the standard WM6.5. This may relate to the battery icon issue though. I haven't searched the forums for this (sorry if it's already logged)

Installed Titaniaum Weather yesterday and now the incoming SMS/MMS popup is blank. Messaging itself is not affected so, no big thing.

Switching panels is not quite as smooth as your WM6.1 ROM and it has caused the odd hangup.

Overall I'm quite happy with the performance of the ROM but I'm not a fan of the WM6.5 interface. You can hardly be expected to fix this though....

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nos2k5:
after a bit of testing I can say that it's a very stable and excelent rom.

issues found: when exiting the sms windows it hangs for a very long time before coming back to CHome. And yes, switching between panels is not as smooth as on other testet roms, but this is not as bad as the sms issue.

installed TitaniumWeatherv4.1 by showaco and it works great for me.

the only thing which won't work for me is showacos "Extended Start Menu"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=481379
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
i must say that i have never had any issue with sms hang as you stated and i have been using this from birth. exit in both potrait and landscapre mode almost instant! have you done a hard reset after install? if you have then something else is intefering with it. the only lag i got is when composing MMS and inserting a pic screen goes black for a split second while picture is being resized. no sms issue here. also this rom is the 1st one where you do not need the sms/mms fix as experienced by other wm6.5 roms.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
i am sure WC will try to fix this just as he fixed the sms/mms issue without needing to install fix created by fards. i have noticed that contacts issue you mentioned but i dont use panels so wouldn't have seen that. will check on future builds. your feedback is appreciated and it nice to receive some proper feedback
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
now now bro there you go doubting your work. i am aware of your ability and you are making waves dude. you need to realise that humble beginnings are good as it will give you the time to get better and release better roms. stop doubting yourself man like i keep telling you! like john said less bugs less posts. you need to keep cool and keep doing what you love! the alliance is strong but we need more co operation from others! this is good work out the box......... no sms/mms fix needed out the box, youtube working as well without so claimed aliens while others are struggling to follow suit! i know the hours put into getting this right so keep on working dude keep on!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nos2k5:
ooh no, I think I did no hard reset after flashing :eek:

so only hard reset will help?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
plz do and report back

hard reset:

turn phone off. with phone off hold down 2 silver soft buttons, keep holding them and press power button. keep holding 2 soft keys till restore screen comes up. follow instructions. 'r' to restore and 'space' to reboot. plz be aware you will need to set up device again but that will ensure that only new rom is installed and get rid of possible conflicts from prev installed rom or apps
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nos2k5:
damn, did so much customization since flashing...

however, could you tell me how i can change to Blackstone CommManager (Blue&White form Touch IT if possible)

edit:installed it form this cab but didn't work http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3114452&postcount=1

do you have any idea about the "Extended Start Menu" i've mentioned above?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
search mate search. here is the main x1 page and you will find everything you want from there. many cabs for extended start menu floating about and comm-manager of your choice. i dont use as i like to keep it SONY as much as i can. i am sure there is a cab compatible with 6.5. touch-it version might not work as different wm versions.

This ROM is real nice. Been using for few days now and real smooth. Battery is nice too. One question thou, I can get MMS's and send if I start a NEW MMS but when I try to attach a file via MMS in a text message, the option is grayed out. Not that big of a deal as I can just start a NEW message and do an MMS and it will ad it to the already created thread. I did install both MMS CAB fixes. The one for 600k which is working just fine and the other MMSfix CAB. Anyway, bravo on this ROM. Also, not one lock-up yet using all the panels and even the facebook panel. Was in that panel for an hour today and all good. I think that is a first for me on that... Very happy!

Youtube

Youtube always freezes the phone, especially in playing any video a second time, nothing works afterwards except softreset by removing battery. or sometimes it plays only sound and no video. Just wondering if someone else encounters this problem. i am using 21725 rhodium. thx for any help.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
I see you are flip flopping roms...have you hard reset the phone in between flashing everyone elses roms? You tube has been tested to work fine on 3g...when using wifi, this little phone cant handle the amount of information that the application is loading into it and yes will freeze...same with any regular computer. To much info...not enough cpu power to handle it...probably why this was not included in the original sony x1 rom...

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
you must be using it over wifi i assume? i did experience this issue wen i used it over wifi and reported. it was hard for WC to fix the issue as he did not experience that prob so could not duplicate it. it is rather difficult when that happens. we left it down to the fact that over wifi the system gets overun by the speed of the info it is processing hence the freeze. dont quote me on this as it is only a suggestion. i aint no expert! so when ya stop watching a vid and try to open another staright after the phone is slow in catching up hence it freezes. over 3g that issue is non existent
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
1.)As mentioned in an earlier post, somethings with 6.5 will not be available with the manila rom,as they conflict with other components. The current build of manila is not completely compatable with 6.5 os so I made it as best I could.

2.)Regular roms and Manila both include a "lock" feature...in regular rom the slide to lock feature is there,in manila this feature is not available except when using windows default.

3.)This was a choice to leave this as is so people can add thier own ringtones etc.

If you are wanting an older version of the manila then I suggest a topaz rom, default coloring for the rhodium manila is what it is in the rom....

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
you will need to search for the manila files for that original theme you are after. once you have got them you need to copy them to windows folder. dont know where they are so can't help. check in the 6.1 forums as well. topaz rom has that original look. this rhodium rom has the t-mobile look but i am sure the manila files for original look are out there! sorry i dont have them to hand as i really like the t-mobile rhodium look and effects.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sika68:
Yes you are right, i am a fan of your rom and Touch X ultimate from Smaberg's, trying to decide on one. unfortunately youtube problem exist in both which i really need for my son since i can't put him to sleep without youtube. i use wifi and did a hard reset Thx.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
thought so! wifi is the issue and i have had this issue. same over 6.5 and 6.1! all i can assume is the phone cant handle all that info coming at it and fails to process it! thus it freezes needing reboot. use it over 3g as no problems
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Another option may be to use the browser instead of the actual you tube application and go to you tube that way...may work better for what you are trying to do....

i reiterate my stand that this is the best xperia rom so far

thanks wc

performance seems to improve after some use... !

got a mild issue with activesync ,while connected via usb cable sycing occurs about every two minutes. tried to change the interval option in activesync but its grayed out in all conditions.

the best part i love of this rom is the reclamation of windows start menu and removal of SE panels. it would be nice if you can make a cab that removes the panelmanager safely and reclaims start menu button for other roms too. manual deletion of panelmanager on those roms seems to send the phone to a softrest cycle.

thanks

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Trimegisto:
I am aware of that fact it's just that I find it very annoying to introduce a password or a pin every time you want to use the phone. Yes, it does increase the level of security but that is not the issue, I just want my phone to autolock itself automatically after 1 min or something like that.

But this is not a complaint as the stock ROMs don't include the auto lock feature neither. I really don't understand why...:confused: Some of the old models, completely obsolete now, had this feature.

Again, the autolock.cab available here in the forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493213) is always in my SD card so it just a question of installing it immediately after the ROM and that's it.

I was just wondering if it could be cooked into the ROM as an accessory.

Anyway, this ROM is the best I have tried so far.

Thanks for the thread link, after reviewing it...I would have to decline to add it into the roms I make....as you said it can be added via cab from sd card....Thank you for trying my work;)

can't please everyone bro. the feature is there if needs be so don't see the neccesity. when phones goes into standy that in it self renders the handset sort of locked till power button is depressed! autolock caused issues with alarms and that in other roms so its a wise choice to leave it out!

Excellent work again. Tried Manila version for a few days and am now back on xperia panels version. Personal taste, don't see a need for tf3d.

One question, has anyone had issues downloading the free map from tomtom? Mine states I don't have priviledges or something like that when it goes to the website. I do have a map loaded on my SD card. How do I get it to look at that map after flashing ROM? Help appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shingers5:
the map on the sd card should be a cab so you need to install the map cab file and then wen you open tomtom it will pick it up! got my liverpool free map on sd card. i install it after flashing new rom and it works!

synchronization issues

I seem to be having some interesting encounters on synching... (but still a great ROM that i'm enjoying very much)

1 - when connected to pc on activesync - it synchronizes, but i would often get synchronization stopped message. when i hit sync again - it would go through, but if i leave it connected - it would usually appear again after some time. no big deal, but i've noticed this on a couple of rhodium/manila ROMS both on 6.1 & 6.5

2 - i sync with exchange server very often. no problems with wifi- but realise sometimes with 3G, the data connection is established but no transfer of data... only works after soft reset, haven't been able to figure what might be causing that though.

anyone with these experiences?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kmac27:
This is definitly the best Rom (Manila) my X1 has seen so far, performance is terrible ... good - software collection is also well done. I love that I finally got rid of the Panel crap.

I do have problems with the youtube application too - phone freezes (connected with activesync).

One problem I see that the Media Player does not play my video files anymore (mp4) - they worked well with default firmwares.

Maybe it would be possible to add Java support to the Roms?
